Nike Lab & Riccardo Tisci Team Up For Basketball-Inspired Collab

Just like your gym clothes.

Givenchy’s former Creative Director, Riccardo Tisci took to Instagram to tease the announcement of his latest collaboration with Nike. Credited with the rebirth of fashion label Givenchy, Tisci has broken out of the shadow of his old gig to create another NikeLab collection that helps propel sportswear into a more elevated lane.

Inspired by the classics, the Italian fashion designer reimagined wardrobe staples such as oxford shirts, track pants and casual outerwear to create a three-part womenswear collection and a four-part menswear collection, in addition to a variety of accessories.

Heavily influenced by Tisci’s personal style and the idea that basketball payers are some of today’s biggest style influencers, the collection features a series of graphics designed for a fictional team—the Victorious Minotaurs— creating the perfect off-court uniform.
